I've heard nothing but great review on them so far...

I had a look at that board and was thinking that was the one, but then I realized that it was Cross Fire and I wanted SLI, it is definitely a nicer looking board but shame it isn't SLI

I agree that is a nice board and I was checking that out too, the only thing I liked more on the ASUS board is that it came with a half decent sound card and the FSB is 1600 o/c, but I am sure that either one would do that speed with ease, I am going to have to think about that one. thanks for all your help friend!!

Pooch, looks nice but if I were you I'd try to tuck those cables away on the far end of those ODD spaces (seen from this image) to make sure the air moved by the front fan can move all the way through your case, and not be impeted by all those messy cables. Nice case and like your workspace in the corner there..

Hey Amplid
Thanks
Those messy cables are a small headache as there are far to many of them, and short of cutting them off I'm not sure what to do,
the air flow is still good though, mainly thanks to the side fan. Main thing is it doesn't run hot.

I think he's talking about the side fan cable that's just hanging there, so it is in use.
